What is the Hardness of the Flooring?

The chart below lists the Janka rating for the most common flooring species; if your species is not listed here please contact us for assistance. The importance of hardness is overemphasized by many exotic manufacturers there are literally thousands of floors in existence that have lasted 200+ years and are made from softwoods.

In engineered floors, especially imports with thin wear layers hardness may be more critical since these floors cannot be heavily sanded to remove deep scratches.
